Beyoncé has just released her latest single and it is called ‘Formation’. This is the first song released by the singer since her album Beyoncé Platinum Edition from 2014. The song is extremely catchy and mimics the rapping style present in some of her most recent successes such as ‘7/11’, ‘Drunk In Love’ and ‘Flawless Remix’ featuring Nicki Minaj. ‘Formation’ will probably attract some disapproval, perhaps from fans who were more keen on her earlier style of songs, but ‘Formation’ seems perfectly consistent with the singer’s more recent style, mixing more rap with her usual R&B. The song has many quotable verses, some of which are “Always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper” or the more outlandish but memorable “I got hot sauce in my bag, swag”, which will most definitely be chanted loudly in clubs in the near future, a lot like much of the lyrics from ‘Drunk in Love’ were. Finally, the song’s hook will most likely have you singing along with Beyoncé “cause I slay” for days to come.

‘Formation’ is available to stream and download for free exclusively via Tidal.
